Good overall, significant annoyance when Hibernating a Windows machine
Works fast and seems to be reliable. Setup was very easy and it runs a lot cooler than my previous external drive. Personally, I like the power-saving spin-down feature, as it prevents the drive from spinning idly for days on end (as sometimes happened with [...]

What a Beauty!
After making a lot of comparisons between the various laptops being offered since Windows 7 was released I found the Acer 4111 to be an outstanding buy at $479.99 through Amazon. It has so many nice features, 4 gigs of memory, 4 USB slots, a built in modem, 2.1 gig CPU and I [...]

Multiple FireWire 400 Failures
I needed another large capacity external hard drive that was both USB 2.0 and FireWire 400 compatible. The SimpleTech PRO1000Q looked to fit the bill perfectly.
Unfortunately, when the drive arrived I found that, while the USB interface worked fine the drive refused to mount at all using FireWire 400. I tried it [...]

I’ve heard some complaints about this line of external drives, so let me address those first. Yes, there is a slight “hum” or high frequency vibration. But I have several of these drives in different capacities and some hum a little, some not so much. Bottom line is that [...]

“Free-fall sensor - As an added layer of protection, if the drive (or the system it’s in) is dropped while in use, WD’s free-fall sensor detects that the drive is falling and, in less than 200 milliseconds, parks the head to help prevent damage and data loss.”
Model: WD3200BJKT HAS this sensor [...]

Failed Out of the Box - Common Failure
I do computer repairs.
I normally don’t like to see reviews that rate a product with only one star because they got an “out of box failure” but I will have to add myself to the category of people that will not give a product the benefit of a [...]

Western Digital 640GB SATA HD Green Power WD6400CSRTL
This HD is for auxiliary use. The specs and rating for WD HDs are generally good, so I decided to purchase this drive. Only time and use will verify its reliabilility, so I will reserve that analysis till at least four years is up. However, the WD reputation [...]

Very good
It was easy to format and install Ubuntu 9.10 on this drive. It’s very fast and quiet. Picasa imported 49,000 photos at top speed. It’s currently storing 60 GiB with no errors.
The drive was healthy with no bad sectors. It passed the extended self test. All SMART data was in the green.
Packaging was a [...]

Nice Camera, but I want more
I bought this camera from Circuit City on the day I was to fly out on a 2 week vacation. I have a Sony HI8, but I wanted a better quality camera to archive my children’s activities.
Overall, the camcorder is light, highly functional, and meets my expectations. However, [...]
